Hey Friends,
 
            Just got home from the Telethon. It was an awesome year not only for me but we raised 65 Million for the Association. Despite a sucky economy and the terrible Hurricane. I am truly thankful for the 1500+ that you all raised. Awesome Job! Also I know I go along with everyone when I say "God Bless The Gulf Coast." They have been hit too many times. Hope everyone is ok down there. I hope everyone liked the new stuff. I was really excited but nervous to sing those songs cause me and my co-writers worked our as..butts off on the arrangements to make them perfect for you. And what can I say about the duet. It was the 1 highlight of my career and probably will be for the rest of my life. I am not a "cryer" and I had to hold it back from when she walked out on the stage, let alone when we started singing. She is one amazing kid.
 
    Now I am home until Monday with a bad chest cold. I didn't sleep much so that could be the problem. I head to Nashville on Monday to continue the new journey and see what else we can create. Hopefully not with a cold or whatever I've got. "Damn" has been getting a lot of interest from the industry people which is exciting and its happening all on its own too. I wanna give a big shout out to Steve Hornbeak, Steve Mandile and Liz Rose. You guys are my family and my rock in Nashville. Thank you isn't enough. I'm Really excited for what's ahead. Ok, I have to pick up my bro from football practice. Then its off to the Drs. He hates them as much as I do so we can sit there miserably together while I get told the riot act on how I don't take better care of myself. Haha...and I still have to pay after that too. I should become a Doctor.
 
The Telethon is over and so isn't summer. Hope everyone had a great one. Mine was filled with Family Cookouts, Bonfires upon Bonfires with friends, Late night wake boarding (don't ask, I can't believe I'm not dead) and most importantly songwriting and finding my way musically. What you are hearing is all my feelings and is truly me.
 
..and no I'm not dating taylor swift...
 
..I wish
 
Peace everybody
 
 
ps..stay in touch with the myspace..we'll be updating it soon.
 
...and I was reading somewhere that somebody couldn't remember a song I wrote. I only sang it once so far and it's called "Never Crossed My Mind" and there is also a brand new one called "What Dreams Will Come" which brings the total to 6 I think...hopefully in 2 weeks it will be 10-20 new songs.

Hey Billy,
Im so happy to hear that you had another awesome year at the telethon. The duet was simply adorable and very touching.
She's like a little angel up there and you two sang beautifully together! =)
Also happy to hear you had a great summer... I had a few bonfires with friends as well but other than that, my summer was pretty boring =S. And Im so glad you aren't dead from wake boarding haha! (I always thought it was called wave boarding... seems to make more sense....)
I love hearing your new music! And its so exciting that you seem to be writing songs now! Cant wait to hear em! You're an amazing and talented person,
Take care (...or maybe you dont wanna hear that - you said your Dr will tell you that anyway haha)
So.... "Talk to ya later" (that better?)
~*~Bethany~*~
p.s.

Sorry about Taylor Swift.... haha
Im dont get caught up in rumors anyway =)

Wow, man! It sucks that you've got a chest cold! I've got bronchitis and pneumonia right now, so I know exactly how you feel!!!

Good job at the telethon and glad you had fun! Nic told me about the hand-stand push-ups LOL! BTW, no one could tell that you were nervous about your new songs! People really dug them!

Anyway, good luck with the new material! I'm looking forward to seeing you perform some new stuff! Glad "DAMN" is getting a lot of attention! You really deserve it for being such a strong, persevering person!

All the best, your 1 fan and friend when you need me,
Autum

The Taylor Swift thing made me laugh. (Seriously I think that girl is link to 3-4 singers right now.
)

Aw! I hope you feel better! Chest colds are not fun at all. And I hate going to the doctors. They are always like "You need to do this." Um... yeah...

You did great on the telethon. I had to miss some of it. (Stupid American Eagle for making me work.
)

I'm glad you had fun over the summer. I wish my summer would have been half as fun.
But your summer sounds ah-mazzingggg!!!

Wow, this is quite an update! Thanks so much for posting this for us, we really appreciate it. You did great on the telethon, which I'm sure everyone has told you already. So you had absolutely nothing to be nervous about, we had faith in ya lol.


Can't wait to see what comes out of your next trip to Nashville, I'm sure it'll be amazing. Your hard work will pay off, I have doubt about that. I am extremely excited that 'Damn' is getting the attention that it deserves. I knew from the moment I heard it at Richard's that it could be a hit someday. So I can't wait to see what happens with that.


Ha, yeah thanks for confirming that the other song was called "Never Crossed My Mind". Shows that you actually pay attention to things ; ] lol.


Anyway, thanks so much for the update & feel better soon.
And we'll be seeing you soon, right? ;] hahaa

<3 Kristin

Hey billy
well this is my first time writing to someone i dont really know seems kinda weird.

anyway i just wanted to tell you how much i enjoy your music but more then that how much i appreciate what you are doing for mda. It is wonderful to see someone young doing something so positive. I watch every year and still remember when i was a kid and would go get the can from 7-11 to collect each year. The highlight for me this year was def your duet. Will you be releasing that ? I would love to have that i think it would be a great fundraiser for mda. I know i would pay to be able to listen to that song it has always been my favorite song. But the two of you together singing it brought tears to my eyes it was so beautiful.

Hey Billy,

Its been awhile. I am glad to hear that everything is going well for you in your career. I am excited to hear new music. It will (if it ever could,) be even more meaningful to hear YOUR words to music. I feel like this has been a person to person meeting. Its good to see that you are truly talking to us. That is a part of what makes you so awesome. That and everything you do for the population. Billy, you are the man. Anyway, I wish you the best. I hope you get better very soon and that you aren't too miserable. Tell, Collin, that one of your fans wishes him the best and better health as well. The two of you take care. God Bless.

Hey Billy, I am very proud to say that i heard you for the first time on the telethon. I heard the voice while in the kitchen,and honestly i was expecting an older person. Just because the range and tone reminded me of greats like Sanatra, Sammy Davis, and others and a young Wayne Newton.
I was really taken back when i looked at the screen and there you were!!!!

I am 60 years old and think you are wonderful and that you have a great future ahead of you.
I have been looking for CD's but can not find any can you help with were i might find some?

Your voice and stage presents has really blown me away!!! God Bless you and for the great work you are doing with Jerry Lewis.

Billy,

Thanks so much for the words of kindness about the gulf coast. I was one of those unfortunate ones who had to evacuate ( a week before i moved to Washington). I lived in Kemah Texas for 7 years and during that time I evacuated 2 times. The first hurricane was damaging enough, but this second one really shock up me and my family. All I can do is be grateful that all my family and friends are fine and also be grateful that I have your music to guide me through these difficult times.


Love a fan,

Danielle

You were amazing on the Telethon.

You really need to have some shows in Texas so I can see you perform again.

I had so much fun when I saw you in Nashville at Cafe Forte.

Haha! I can honestly say that because I read this I am going to have a great day all because of your positive attitude about all the pressures involved with being famous. I actually just watched the video of the duet from the telethon and i melted, she was so cute! I also wanted to say BRILLIANT song choice for the duet. Definitely one of my all time favourite songs.

Hey Billy. I actually Missed the tellathon, but I saw a few videos of it on Youtube. I must say, that duet you did with that girl was emotional. I litterally almost was close to crying.
That was awesome!!!

Good luck with that!!! I look to buy it a little bit after it comes out!!!

I didn't get a chance to watch the telethon this year because I don't get that station in my dorm room up in San Jose. But my sister called me when you sang with Abbey. It was the sweetest duet I have ever heard! You two sound wonderful together! I watched the video on YouTube later and it made me cry! Your's and Abbey's performance was just beautiful! This is a way late reaction but I hope you got over your cold and I am looking forward to a new CD soon! Thank you for singing such inspirational songs.
